The problem is this is the internet, not your friend group. We don't know rando strangers on the internet, so I can't trust that they're not racist. Furthermore it's just an overdone and boring joke.

I'm black and yes I do make stereotypical jokes with my friends, but that's because I know them. And some jokes just never hit anyway.

I get offended on the behalf of others because I want them to understand they're not wrong for feeling upset or hurt by the crazy shit they see online, because I see crazy shit online and wonder if people think it's right and or normal.

Literally someone else in the thread just talked about people teasing and bullying them with this joke, so clearly it's not funny for everybody.

A based comment about not being so far up your own arse with oversensitivity that you can still smell reality, and enjoy life? Whaaaat

Fr though there's a reason people are hypersensitive and decide to police others - there are a lot of unapologetically bigoted dudes out there and their volume has kind of freaked people out.

Essentially, cis-het white exclusionary folk (usually men) cause rifts between the majority, calls them the minority, and the rest of the palefaces tend to overcompensate apologising for their jerk acquaintance.

But when you actually ask the opinion of someone who has lived experience, usually they're cool with stereotypes and identity-based jokes that don't come from a place of hatred.
